I am once again, participating in a studio stroll in the Kenilworth neighborhood of Asheville, NC. There is great information on the 19 artists participating in this years tour at this link: kenilworthartists.org, along with a map of the studios to visit.

My sheep family was inspired by the mountains I now live with, wrapping around us at every turn. This latest work will be on view along with a number of other new pieces for the studio stroll.

A few more samples of what you will find on Buckingham Court! Hope to see you there!

I joined an outdoor painting group yesterday and discovered a awesome location and business – Blue Ridge Daylily Farm. It’s colorful, enormous and staffed by a very friendly crew. Lots of fun and definetly inspiring !

Mark your calendar for this great opportunity to view all kinds of art work and the studios where it was created.

This is my second time to participate in this great neighborhood event in Asheville, North Carolina. I join 14 other artists who will be opening up their homes or studios to display, sell and talk about their art. We are all part of the Kenilworth Artists Association.

Come and support your local artisans!

This year at my address – 17 Buckingham Court, two neighbors will join me. There will be a yard full of art- jewelry, pottery and my own mixedmedia and paintings!

Adding another owl piece, I can’t stop seeing these faces – they keep peaking out at me!
I had fun creating this background with collage, acrylics and stencils and then poof they appeared. They are a fun pair with their “Fancy Feathers” – enjoy!

I discovered this wise eyed friend hiding among the red poppies…this quiet bird was a recreation of a piece I had done with a woman looking out from the flowers…never happy with the figure I got brave and covered her up and let the intuative process take over. Some thing else was really there! Letting it happen….who knew!

This was a piece from Alena Hennessy’s online class “a year of painting II” that I finished up this past year.

We shared collage pieces with other artists in the class using them to inspire a collabrative piece. My fox face, sun and leaves came from Alexis in Oregon I moved these pieces around till the fox image caught my attention and then had fun creating a space for him to play.
